Mt Cook and Hooker Valley trek - To start, I would like to thank Ana for the fantastic job she did for us today. She was very informative and helped us with everything to make the day fantastic. The Tour was great. We had some wonderful stops at local lookouts and lakes before arriving at Mt Cook. We did the 10km Hooker Valley trek, which was amazing, and the views were out of this world. We recommend this tour for a great day out.

Mt Cook a must to see - I recently took the Full-Day Guided Sightseeing Tour of Mount Cook from Queenstown, and it was an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the walk along the Hooker Valley Track. The trail was fabulous, offering breathtaking views of the stunning landscape. James, our tour guide from Altitude Tours, made the day even more enjoyable. He provided us with a wealth of interesting facts and stories about the region. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty of Mount Cook and its surroundings.
